Where else must we go?TERESA FISCHER

DESPITE looming evictions, theremaining tenants of the Zandv-lei Community Centre refuse tomove.

Instead, their numbers are grow-ing.

At night, up to 13 homeless peopleare being sheltered in the buildingby the four businesses renting thepremises from the City of CapeTown.

People’s Post previously reportedon the City’s plans to provide a basestation for traffic officials in thisMuizenberg building, to improveresponse times in traffic emergen-cies (“Traffic centre tizz,” People’sPost, 27 September 2011).

William van Vuuren of Fix-a-Ding Panelbeaters says he is look-ing for community support so thatthe building can instead be used tohouse the homeless.

This idea is one that has been for-mally discussed with the City bycommunity organisations in Mui-zenberg, but van Vuuren was not

part of these talks. “It takes yearsfor people to finish such discus-sions,” he says.

The location of the building, re-moved from any neighbouring resi-dential properties, presents aunique opportunity as residents of-ten object to such a facility in closeproximity to their houses.

For over 50 years the 1st Muizen-berg Sea Scout Group was housedin the building, but the group leftwhen their objection to being evict-ed was turned down.

Andre Swart, speaking for theZandvlei Community Centre Com-mittee says since the scouts left atthe end of March, the historicalbuilding has been vacant and van-dalised.

He says allowing the homeless ac-cess prevents further destruction ofproperty and unlawful entry.

Swart says safety is paramount.He says the greatest risk in suchcases is usually due to the use ofcandles, gas and paraffin, but headds this will not be the case. Hesays they have been given electrici-ty,which the tenants arepaying for,as well as running water and toiletfacilities. A kitchen sink has beeninstalled. Rules are in place andcommittee members from amongthe group make sure these are fol-lowed.

The tenants have been given anextension until Saturday 30 June oncondition they agree to certainterms. However, the Zandvlei Com-munity Centre Committee, as ad-vised by its attorneys, has refusedto agree to theCity’s terms that theymake the building available to thecontractor at any time and that thetenants, clients and employees willsign an indemnity, absolving thecity of all responsibility in the caseof an accident or injury.

Swart says the current lease onthe building has expired, so it runson a month to month basis, but headds the terms of the lease still ap-ply. He says all they are doing is to

continue using the empty scout hallas a space for community purposes.

He adds the homeless will be giv-en shelter until they are ordered bythe court to vacate the building.

The decision for a Traffic Depart-ment office in the Far South wastaken four years ago. The reasongiven was that Traffic Officers whoserve the Far South operate fromOttery, where they need to log inand out at the start and end of everyshift – adding up to two hours oftravelling time, according to theCity.

Swart says there is a vacantbuilding on the Main Road in Si-mon’s Town, next to the old oil re-finery, which he says is a perfect al-ternative.

Meanwhile, Truida Prekel of Saf-er Together and the MuizenbergCommunity Safety Initiative (MC-SI) neighbourhood watch, have

been co-ordinating an initiative toseek solutions to the issue of home-less people in the area.

She says various organisationsand individuals in the communityhave been working for manymonths to try and come to an agree-ment.

Prekel says: “At a meeting on 7February, attended by key peoplefrom the City and more than 30 com-munitymembers, itwas announcedthat the City had allocated substan-tial funds and had identified Mui-zenberg as a pilot for an initiativeto address homelessness in the ar-ea.

“However, there appears to havebeen little progress since then, andwe are eager to get feedback fromthe City, and visible action.”

Elizabeth Milne, chairperson ofthe MCSI, notes homelessness inMuizenberg is a “hugely conten-

tious” issue. She says the spectrumof opinions ranges from those whowant to “wash the homeless awaywith water hoses” to “ag shame”empathy, with a variety of opinionsin between.

Ward councillor David D’Altonsays the City knows people havebeen given proper notice to leaveand are refusing.

“The matter is following a legalprocess and the City has every de-sire to clear the building so they canrestore it.”

He says the decision has beenmade to put an arm of the TrafficDepartment into the building togive the Deep South speedier accessto traffic services.

Dear reader,

There are only a few days leftbefore the Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge, on Sunday May 27, and I’mpraying harder than ever before.

I’m convinced that nothingshort of a miracle, combinedwith a bagful of determination,arnica, ankle and knee guardsand painkillers with the powerof morphine, will help me go the10km distance.

Despite best in-tention a few shortweeks ago, I ha-ven’t stuck to mytraining plan (wasthere ever one?).

I can’t be blamedthough as I’ve hada number of press-ing matters to at-tend to.

Life!Between my

work and personalcommitments, I’vesqueezed in threeruns in the past two weeks, oneon my trampoline, one with amuch fitter adult and anotherwith two toddlers.

I usually drive this energeticpair to daycare, but this timeround, I ran them the 2.2km dis-tance.

I’ve never seen them more re-lieved to arrive at “Teacher Car-ol’s”, or happier to see my tailend as I ran back by myself.

My eating plan is flourishing,with after midnight checks-in atan eatery drive-through for su-persized meals, routine stops ata popular roadhouse for half adozen samoosas - where inci-dently, I bumped into one of ourcoaches, who shall remainnameless - and loads of hot chipsto warm the early winter chill.

I think this is what’s meant by“carbo loading”.

Though unscientific, my strat-egy has paid some dividends asI’ve lost lots of centimetres andhave had to have some clothingadjusted as my favourite pairs ofpants are literally swimmingaround my waist.

I must be on the right track,

in fact this was confirmed bysame coach who, packet of sa-moosas in hand, told me that asrunners we can afford to eat suchdelicacies. I never want to stoprunning.

Realistically, and I’m sure anyexpert runner will agree, I see nopoint in straining myself be-tween now and race day or in in-curring further injury to my ath-letic form, so I’ll be putting upmy feet pretty much, secure in

the knowledgethat I will com-plete the race,whether I run,walk or crawl it.

My reward willbe knowing thatI’ve finished whatI’ve startedanden-joying the sumptu-ous breakfast I’vebeen invited to bythe race organis-ers as a represent-ative of People’sPost.

I am usually famished after agood workout.

After my long working weekwhich ends on Saturday, Sundaywill see me bright and breezy atthe start of the Jive Slave RouteChallenge half marathon and10km race at 06:45, with my racebeginning at 07:15 and breakfastlasting till 11:00, so if my mathsis good, I’ll have a generous fourhours to complete my run.

At this pace, I’m not out tobreak any records, but may yetset a new record.

I wish all race participants anenjoyable run, with immense ad-miration for runners like Ed-ward Murdoch who, at 79, will bethe oldest competitor.

I will be cheering for you Ed-ward.

Till next time, go well!

In it to finish it Mayco backs shark spottersshark spottersTHE Shark Spotters Programmehas been handed a lifeline by theCity of Cape Town’s MayoralCommittee.

Mayco will recommend Coun-cil extend its support of the pro-gramme for the next three years.

This recommendation will bemade before full Council at theend of the month.

It is believed this “valuable jobcreation project” has lived up toall the responsibilities that wereset out in the original Memoran-dum of Agreement in 2007.

Mayco hence decided it wouldsupport a recommendation tocontinue supporting the SharkSpotters for a further three fund-ing-cycles, and fund a minimumof 80% of the budget of the SharkSpotting Programme.

Alderman Belinda Walker,Mayoral Committee Member forEconomic,Environment andSpa-tial Planning, says the SharkSpotters have become an institu-tion on Cape Town’s coastline.

She adds they are essential tothe improved safety, experiencedby beach users.

The programme has providedfull-time employment for 17 pre-viously unemployed people, aswell as seasonal employment fora further six. The programme hasprovided a daily service across a

number of beaches without failfor 365 days a year over the pastfive years.

As at March 2012, the pro-gramme had recorded 1 200 sharksightings.

During 2006 and in response to

an increased number of sharkincidents, the City, along withother organisations such as theWWF-SA, the National Sea Res-cue Institute and Western Prov-ince Lifesaving facilitated the es-tablishment of the programme.

Magnificent killers in the BayTERESA FISCHER

THE photographs featured inthis article, have gone viral.

David Hurwitz of the Simon’sTown Boat Company says Orcasightings here are exceptionallyrare. The pod featured in his photo-graphs stayed much longer thanusual, as Orcas are generally tran-sient. He adds this pod of fourwhales has stayed for two weeks.

He and others had spotted thepod, but finding them was not easybecause of the speed at which they

move – they can cross the bay in twoto three hours.

Hurwitz decided to find a schoolof dolphins in the hope that the Or-cas, whose prey includes dolphins,would make an appearance.

At 09:30 on Tuesday 15 May, aftermore than a week, Hurwitz noticeda sudden change in the behaviourof a school of dolphins he had beenfollowing since sunrise. He wasabout one mile off St James.

“Leaping, splashing and rapidlychanging direction, this paniccould only mean one thing – the Or-cas had arrived,” he says.

He says as he accelerated to keepup with the dolphins, a “massive”Orca surfaced beside his boat,“sounded and rocketed towards thedolphins”.

(Boats may not approach whalesor dolphins without a permit andHurwitz says False Bay is closelymonitored by authorities.)

Intuitively he managed to predictwhat was about to happen next andcaptured the moment the Orca “ex-ploded from the water”, breachingfour metres in the air, to ambushone of the dolphins.

Just seconds later another Orca

“lunged” from beneath the dol-phins, “sending them flying in alldirections like sardines”.

Hurwitz says the Orcas seemed tore-group and allowed the dolphinsto be lulled into a false sense of secu-rity, before “silently stalking” themagain.

He says when they attacked, “allhell broke loose”.

He says: “Words cannot describethe raw power and focused aggres-sion of these magnificent ‘killerwhales’.”

The dolphins were attacked fourtimes during three hours, before

the Orcas swam off. Hurwitz thinksthere is a strong possibility the Or-cas are still in the Bay.

Masi reclaims itssocial spaceTERESA FISCHER

THERE are only two parks inMasiphumelele, so when one wasplagued by criminals and vandals, thecommunity refused to give in withouta fight.

Community leaders and the ward com-mittee campaigned the City of Cape Townto restore the area and their efforts havepaid off.

A new palisade fence now encloses thearea, keeping the children safe and bad ele-ments out at night. The City also levelledthe ground, with the community’s help.

Ward committee member MziyandaMphikwa explains the community boughtpaint and fixed the play equipment.

Colourful containers of plants decoratethe space.

He says: “A million dollar thank you tothe City of Cape Town for renovating thispark, and a particular word of thanks toour neighbours, as well as NGOs workingin Masi, who painted the park.”

Mphikwa says the children were verydisappointed when the park was closed forrenovations. But last week everyone cametogether to celebrate and reclaim theirspace.

There is no grass in the park, because“this would just be stolen”, says Mphikwa.

This doesn’t seem to bother the childrenwho run wildly from end to end.

Treeswill still be planted in thepark, butProportional Representation CouncillorMzuvukile Nikelo says this will be part ofthe process going forward.

“To ensure the sustainablility of thepark, the community must make it theirown. Please look after it,” he adds.

Nikelo says he was grateful to communi-ty activists for highlighting specific needsto the City.

A team of workers, contracted by theCity to keep Masiphumelele clean, will in-clude the park in their efforts.

Ward councillor Felicity Purchase says:“We are trying to improve the quality oflife for this community as well as othersand that is why we have dedicated council-lor Nikelo to be there on a semi-permanentbasis as he is from the area and has beena community worker there, as well as ateacher and pastor.”

Purchase says the Council has in thepast worked to beautify the park, but van-dalism remained a problem. However, sheadds that Council has now fenced it off andneighbours have undertaken to keep aneye on it and help keep it clean.

Mphikwa adds that he believes the onlyway the human situation will improve isfor each individual to take charge of theirown community.

CELEBRATIONS: This happy group of children demonstrate the popularity of the renovatedpark in Masi.

Little ones with big futuresAN INITIATIVE to change the destiny ofchildren in the Far South was given aboost last Friday night.

The Metropolitan Foundation made adonation of R159 600 to the locally born-and-bred Empowerment Through Educa-tion (ETE) project.

ETE, championed by Fish Hoek Galleyowner Herbie Eichel, is paying for theeducationof 16 children fromthecommu-nities of Masiphumelele and OceanView.

Fourteen of the children are in SunValley Primary School and two in Laer-skool Paul Greyling. The yearly cost oftheir education is close to R250 000.

Eichel excitedly explained that theMetropolitan Foundation’s donation hadfirst been discussed a year ago.

He told the foundation the donation“will be the best investment” they evermake.

“I am convinced we will see some greatyoung adults and leaders emanatingfrom our children over the years. Wehope we can send many more children tothe best schools in the country, allowingthem to live their dreams and, in return,inspire us to help them change the

world,” Eichel said.The ETE project arose out of the Valley

Development Project and Rotary ClubCape of Good Hope’s establishment of theMasakhane and Green Curtains pre-schools in Masiphumelele and OceanView.

Eichel became very involved in sup-porting the schools financially and want-ed to see the best pupils receive the besteducation possible.

A trust was established and the firstbeneficiaries started their primaryschool education two years ago.

The ultimate vision is to fund the edu-cation of the beneficiaries through to ter-tiary level.

Eichel said that children currently onthe programme are “already changed”.

“And if they carry on like this, theywill change the world,” he believes.

Dr Chan Makan, CEO of the Metropoli-tan Foundation, said the ETE pro-gramme had impressed the foundation“because it is a project of partnerships”.“We are fully behind you,” he told theETE Trust.

Small whale washes onto rocks, diesDESPITE efforts to swim a 2,5 metre PygmySperm Whale back out to sea, it had to be hu-manely euthanised by the SPCA.

The small whale was discovered on the rocks atthe southern end of Surfer’s Corner on Saturday 19May.

On each attempt the whale washed back onto therocks.

At 08:40, the Department of Environmental Af-fairs requested the NSRI to investigate eye-witnessreports of a beached whale.

Sea Rescue Simon’s Town volunteers respondedand NSRI Strandfontein sea rescue volunteers wereplaced on alert in case further assistance was re-quired.

The whale was badly scratched and sustained lac-erations, suspected to have been caused by washingonto and against the rocks.

While it is unknown how long the whale had beenthere, eyewitness reports suggest it had first beenspotted at sunrise, indicating that it may have comeashore during the night.

NSRI volunteers remained at the scene whilewaiting for marine specialists and SPCA vets to ar-rive.

Marine specialists and SPCA officers, assisted byTable Mountain National Parks rangers, removedthe whale from the shoreline and transported it tothe SPCA Veterinary Clinic in Grassy Park.

It was found to be too badly injured to be saved.It was initially suspected that it may have been

a dolphin, but Marine scientists confirmed that itwas a Pygmy Sperm Whale. It is not known whatcaused the whale to beach.

Lifesaving clubsupports taggingTAGGING Great WhiteSharks in False Bay is whatmany people have been callingfor from the time of the fatalshark attack on Tyna Webb in2004.

This, according to MikeSchilperoort of the Fish HoekSurf Lifesaving Club, who sup-ports the controversialOcearch Research Project,which makes use of chum-ming to catch Great Whites.

The Project’s permit hasbeen re-issued for the taggingof six White Sharks until 31May.

Schilperoort says: “Wewould go further and suggestthat some inshore tagging ofsharks be done in and aroundFish Hoek Bay.”

He says this would allowthe possibility of tagging ashark that is a frequent visi-tor to the northern and west-ern coastline of False Bay.The information receivedfrom such a tagging would beinvaluable to scientists andmany other interested parties.

Schilperoort adds that shortly after the at-tack on Tyna Webb, key members of the FishHoek Surf Lifesaving Club at public meet-ings discussed what should be done to avoidfurther attacks.

At this time, well-known shark scientistAlison Kock, noted part of her research wasto try and identify as many sharks as possi-ble in the Bay.

She did this by taking photographs oftheir dorsal fins and keeping a library of in-formation on shark sightings, in order to tryand correlate a pattern of shark movementin False Bay.

Headds that taggingwasalso going to takeplace, but this was limited by a lack of fundsand technology.

He says that despite scientists’ efforts togather as much information on White Sharkmovements in False Bay as possible, thepublic are generally none the wiser as towhether there is any pattern at all on sharkmovements in and around False Bay.

“So, when the Ocearch Research Projectwas announced, we supported it and lookedforward to view shark movements in False

Bay with much anticipation.”He says the negative publicity Ocearch re-

ceived, after the fatal shark attack on DavidLilienfeld, was unfortunate and “based onmisinformation and personal agendas”.

Despite the attack on Lilienfeld, he says:“Our support for this programme remains.It is our view that it is vital that we are ableto get as much information on White Sharkmovements in False Bay as soon as possi-ble.”

He adds they would expect all informationon the capture and tagging of the sharks tobe communicated to interested parties.

“The bonus here is that we can now allview this informationon the internetwithindays of the sharks being tagged and it is go-ing to cost us nothing,” he concludes.

•At the time of going to press, Alison Kockwas out at sea on the Ocearch vessel. She isexpected to return in two days and write afull report on her involvement in the expedi-tion.

Schilperoort says the permit for inshoretagging was refused and that the Ocearchvessel was not able to tag the six sharks itwanted to around Seal Island.

KEEPING TABS: This photograph was taken by Mike Schilperoort while an independent observer on a tagging projectin False Bay with Alison Kock in 2010. He says it showsthe camera being fitted on the fin, which proved to be difficult and cumbersome. The camera would detach itself aftereight hours underwater and would then have to be trackedand collected by Alison before the data could be used. Photo:Mike Schilperoort

TERESA FISCHER

NEW speed humps on Riverside Road inFish Hoek have taken several motoristsby surprise as they have not yet beenpainted.

Someone has written “please paint me”in chalk on one speed hump.

The City of Cape Town has blamed thecontractor for the delay in painting thehumps.

There are signs indicating the speedhumps, which include a 30km/h restric-tion.

There are also warning chevrons at thehumps.

There are now orange cones on the road,but one motorist who says her car wasdamaged last Friday, says these were notthere when she encountered the humps.

Karen Peiser says a bolt was sheared offher car, but does not yet know what thiswill cost to fix.

Peiser adds a friend of hers also hit thehump and “something fell off her car”.

Resident Charles Bailey says: “Peoplespeed up and down this road like mad; itis dangerous for the children.”

He says the City started installing thehumps last Thursday.

People’s Post witnessed one driver, obliv-iously approaching from the KommetjieRoad side, bounce high on the seat of hisdouble cabas it hit thehump.Looking rath-er startled, he applied the brakes andpeered anxiously into his rear view mir-ror.

Councillor Brett Herron, mayoral com-mittee member for Transport, Roads andStormwater at the City of Cape Town, saysthe City’s Project Manager has addressedthe situation with the contractor.

Herron adds mandatory warning signsfor speed humps were erected before con-struction to warn motorists.

However, he says speed humps cannot bemarked until such time as the volatile va-pours present in the asphalt mix have eva-porated.

He explains that the paint turns brownif painting is done immediately, due to achemical reaction between the paint andthe bitumen in the asphalt.

“This should still be done no later thantwo to three days after construction, de-pending on the weather,” he notes.

Herron says that according to the projectmanager three cones were placed on thespeed humps immediately after construc-tion, but only one remained until the nextmorning.

“It is a common problem that the publicdo not obey the signage and the trafficcones sometimes tend to disappear over-night,” says Herron.

Painting commenced on Thursday 17May, the day this newspaper sent througha media enquiry to the City.

It was expected to be completed by Fri-day, weather permitting.

According to the City any claims of dam-age to vehicles would need to be proven.The contractor is responsible for the con-struction works and traffic accommoda-tion.

City answers questions aboutZandvlei community centreTERESA FISCHER

.Is the decision final to use theZandvlei community hall for aTraffic Department?

Mike Sims, Acting Director:Property Management replies: TheZandvlei Community Centre hasbeen reserved for SpecialisedTechnical Services for use by Traf-fic Services.

.Several community organisa-tions – including the MID, the MC-SI – appear to be against a TrafficDepartment. Why has their inputbeen ignored or disregarded?

Sims replies: The City’s propertymanagement objectives, in orderof priority, are the following:

Firstly to utilise, reserve andmanage the City’s property for itsown use, including but not limitedto purposes of municipal offices,as well as for purposes of provi-sion by the City, or by service pro-viders appointed by the City, ofmunicipal services such as waterand sanitation, electricity and soforth;

To utilise, reserve and managethe City’s property for broader

municipal purposes in the inter-ests of the City’s local community,for example, in respect of localsports facilities, childcare facili-ties and cemeteries, funeral par-lours and crematoria;

Then to utilise, reserve andmanage the City’s property forbroader municipal purposes in theinterests of the City’s local com-munity, including but not limitedto, local sport facilities, childcarefacilities, cemeteries, funeral par-lours and crematoria, than an in-dividual who wishes to lease aproperty for purposes of garden-ing, or who wishes to acquire aproperty from the City;

To alienate property only in cir-cumstances where the City is sat-isfied that it cannot derive a rea-sonable economic and/or socialreturn from continued ownershipof the property.

.What is the City’s comment onthe allegation by current tenantsthat apart from one grant ofR16 000, the City has spent no mon-ey on the upkeep of the building inthe last seven years, but now wish-es to remove the tenants after theyhave invested substantialamounts in the maintenance and

repair of the building?

Sims replies: The lease betweenthe City and the Zandvlei Commu-nity Centre has been operative ona month-to-month basis at a nomi-nal annual rental.

In terms of the lease agreementthe lessee is responsible to main-tain and keep all buildings in goodcondition and repair.

An application was receivedfrom the Director: SpecialisedTechnical Services to reserve theproperty for the purposes of a traf-fic operations centre and was sub-sequently approved by the Direc-tor: Property Management underdelegated authority and the les-sees were given three months’ no-tice to vacate the premises interms of the provisions of the leaseagreement.

Objections were receivedfrom the lessees and were for-warded to the Appeals Authori-ty for consideration.

The objections have subse-quently been dismissed and theobjectors were advised accord-ingly.

.Why is a Traffic Depart-ment base needed in Muizen-

berg? Which areas will it service?What are the benefits of having aTraffic Department in Muizen-berg?

Richard Bosman, Executive Di-rector: Safety and Security replies:

The establishment of the FishHoek driving licence testing cen-tre funded by the South Peninsulasub-council (19) ward allocationswas a resounding success whichnot only benefits the local commu-nity, but serves a large number ofclients from other areas as well.

The chairperson of sub-council19 suggested that Traffic Serviceslook at the possibility of bringingother traffic-related services clos-er to the people in the South, as thenearest Traffic Service deploy-ment centres are located a dis-

tance away in Green Point and atHillstar, in Wetton, respectively.

The proposed centre will greatlybenefit the communities in the FarSouth and also encourage / en-hance road safety in the area.

.What is the plan for the alloca-tion of R1 million that was appar-ently earmarked to deal with thehomeless in Muizenberg?

Cornelia Finch, District head:Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development, replies:The Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development directo-rate is in the process of finalisingthe building to start the assess-ment centre.

The assessment centre will be inMuizenberg and start operating inJune.

SUMMER JACOBS

MAYOR Patricia De Lillehas proposed to award theFreedom of the City to USPresident Barack Obamaand his wife Michelle.

Describing the Obama cou-ple as “guiding stars to oureventual destination” in aCity-issued statement, if heaccepts, Obama would jointhe ranks of former presidentNelson Mandela and Arch-bishop Emeritus DesmondTutu. De Lille says in a “cyni-cal age” there is a “desperateneed for universal hope”.

“Noting the inspirationthey have been to us and theworld, and acknowledgingthat their extraordinary suc-cess has only been possiblewith the support of each oth-er, I have proposed to theRules Committee, in accord-ance with all processes, thatit recommend that the nextmeeting of council honoursthem with our highestaward,” says De Lille.

There are, however, thosewho question the mayor’schoice. The Media ReviewNetwork and the Muslim Ju-dicial Council called on theDA to reconsider the deci-sion, describing the firstblack American president’stenure as a “predatory, rath-er than peaceful, first term inoffice”.

Free reignto Obama

MORALLY CORRUPT: Abigail Scheepers says:“Barack is in favour of samesex marriages. Whatkind of example is the City of Cape Town settingfor themselves by bestowing such a precious honour on someone with unchristian morals?”

LOCAL ISBETTER:Mavis Londtsays: “I suppose as thefirst blackpresident ofthe UnitedStates hecertainly hasachieved alot, but I feelthe awardshould be given to someone local.There are somany peoplein the country who aremuch moredeserving,such assomeonewho runs anNPO, benefiting the community.”

OTHERS MORE DESERVING: Lauren Myborg says:“There are so many positive role models in SouthAfrica that’s worthy of the award. It should definitely have gone to a local. My mother is a primeexample.”

GOOD RELATIONS: Hans Louw says: “It’s good tocreate strong bonds with other countries. It’s a‘if you wash my back, I’ll wash yours’ scenario andthat’s how it’s always been in politics and alwayswill be.”

WE SHOULDHAVE A SAY:Belinda VanWyk says: “Thecity belongs toall Capetoniansliving in it, soshouldn’t wehave a say inwho gets theaward? It’s notsomething tobe handledlightly, they aregranted thefreedom of thecity after all.Maybe thereshould be a pollor somethingalong thoselines.”

GOODWILL: Joschelle Jacobs says: “I haven’t really followed the story that closely, but I’m sure themayor had good reasons for choosing the American president. Whatever they are, lets hope itbrings some good to the Mother City.”

Law backs domestic workersNN

on-compliance with domesticworker employment legal re-quirements will find homes andbusiness in hot water

Both residential and commercial compli-ance with the provisions for domestic work-ers, as set out in the Basic Conditions of Em-ployment Act and Occupational Health AndSafety Act, has experienced a steady, butslower than expected uptake.

This results in many domestic workers stillnot enjoying the employment rights guaran-teed by these two Acts.

The other implication is that non-compli-ant employers are in fact breaking the lawand are subject to fines, prosecution, and inextreme cases, possible incarceration accord-ing to the Department of Labour.

The plight of domestic workers is relevantto both national messaging relating to Free-dom Day as well as Workers Day.

Both The Department of Labour as well asbusinesses have expressed that many domes-tic workers are still not afforded the rightsother employees enjoy.

Yendor Felgate, CEO of Emergence GrowthServices, a provider of human capital man-agement, states that non-compliance may becompletely unintentional, and that adoptionof compliance may be hindered due to massignorance.

Pieter Laubscher Deputy Director for Elec-trical Engineering within the Department ofLabour states that the reasons for the slowrate of compliance of employers has not yetbeen fully determined, however steadyprogress is being made and inspectors are notexperiencing much resistance to the Depart-ment’s labour inspection initiative that tar-gets both business, as well as private resi-dences.

David Honeyman, Executive at GuardriskAllied Products and Services, a division of Al-exander Forbes, states that domestic workersoften do not enjoy insurance benefits thatmany businesses provide to their employees.

The parties confirm that the domesticworker industry has not achieved the degreeof legal compliance and social protection ben-efits enjoyed by other professions.

The most recent National Census is expect-

ed to declare a conservative figure of approxi-mately 900 000 domestic workers in South Af-rica, although this figure would be acceptedas being lower than the true amount. It is alsosuggested that of this, up to 28 percent of do-mestic workers remain without the neces-sary documentation or agreement of formalemployment with employers.

To rectify this matter, the Department ofLabour has initiated on-going inspections toensure that compliance with the Acts isachieved.

Previous statements by the Department ofLabour have included strong messages re-garding the on-going battle for Act compli-ance.

In February, the then Minister of LabourHerbert Mkhize stated, “we have a moral du-ty to do something about non-compliance andwe need our social partners to join handswith us in the war against non-compliance.Why do we have to use the law to cajole citi-zens to do the right thing? Why do we haveto tighten inspectorate sections of labour leg-islation to achieve improved compliance?Why do we have to deploy an army of inspec-tors to police compliance with what is consid-ered to be human rights?”

Felgate believes that if most domesticworker employers knew more of the require-ments and processes to gain compliance, thatthey would do the right thing and completethe necessary procedures.

“Our research into why so many employersfail to legalise their domestic service arrange-ments indicates that while most employersare keen to do the right thing, few are awarethat that their two-day-a-week domesticworker qualifies as an employee.

Others are just overwhelmed by the admin-istrative hassle involved in formalising con-tracts, registering with UIF and producing apayslip,” says Felgate.

Felgate adds non-compliance is therefore,in the majority of cases, not a result of mali-cious intent, but rather a result of simply notknowing what needs to be done, or how to doit.

Sadly, this is probably a result of manyyears of unregulated domestic employment,wheredomesticworkwas seenasan informalcareer and therefore not subject to any em-

ployment legislation.Felgate says: “While I do think

that it is generally known that do-mestic workers are entitled to em-ployment rights, our research sug-gests that theremaybe confusionasto what these rights are.”

The Department of Labour’s in-spection programme is makingheadway in ensuring compliance ismet. Since itwas established follow-ing the promulgation of the sectoraldetermination on 30 November2001.

Laubscher stated that all provin-cial offices kept records as to thenumber of inspections done to date,but specifically “during the finan-cial year 2011/12, two provinces,namely Western Cape and Kwa-Zu-lu Natal, conducted 1913 inspec-tions in this sector and 1542 werefound complying”.

While the intension of these in-spections is to check complianceand to communicate the require-ments to both domestic workersand domestic employees, and busi-nesses, continued non-compliancewill result in heavy fines, prosecu-tion, and possibly incarceration. In2007, the Department of Labour ar-rested two employers who“cheat[ed] labour laws”.

Laubscher confirmed that mostof the inspections are, and will con-tinue to be done in residential are-as, and that inspectors would notaccept ignorance as an excuse fromdomestic employers who are foundnot to comply.

Where the Department uncoversinstances of non-compliance, in-spectors issue the employers withUndertaking and Compliance or-ders.

Laubscher stated that should employersrefuse or fail to comply with the Undertakingand Compliance orders, the Departmentwould recommendprosecution toLabourandMagistrate Courts.

Laubscher further stated that informationpertaining to the requirements for domesticworker employment is freely availablethrough the Department of Labour’s website,as well as any labour centre. In addition, Fel-gate and Honeyman state that various civilinstitutions alsoprovide thenecessaryassist-ance to become compliant.

Felgate says: “Inspections will continue.Domestic employers must realise that inspec-tion teams may arrive at your doorstep andhave the right to check your premises, talkto your domestic employee, and to ask forproof of employment requirement compli-ance.”

While basic legal compliance remains acritical objective for both the Department ofLabour as well as the domestic worker indus-try, another key issue that requires adoptionis that of employee benefits and social protec-tion.

Honeyman states that basic employee bene-fits afforded to employees in corporations areoften not afforded to domestic workers, andit is usually the domestic workers that re-quire the social protectionbenefitsmore thanany other profession.

Felgate says: “Through the Domestereproduct Emergence Growth Services is wellpositioned to guide anyone employing a do-mestic worker on how to comply with the Ba-sic Conditions of Employment Act and Occu-pational Health And Safety Act.

“Products are available on the market to

assist compliance,manyofwhich canbedoneonline and integrate with online banking fa-cilities.

“For only R80 per month Domestere pro-vides all the necessary forms including em-ployment contracts and salary payslips, andfurther provide guidance on how to registeryour domestic worker for UIF.

“Our partnership with Guardrisk also pro-vides the domestic employer with the abilityto provide insurance for the domestic work-er, providing the domestic worker with secu-rity against such cases as death and perma-nent disability cover, a health care benefit,and income protection cover.

“This measure also protects the employerin terms of the requirements of the Occupa-tional Health And Safety Act.”

Honeyman says: “We expect that making iteasier for South Africans to register their do-mestic workers and provide for their socialbenefit protection is likely to increase thenumberaswell as the speedof domesticwork-ers registering with the UIF.

“This is just another example as to how theprivate sector can, and should, be assistingGovernment and labour.”

UnthinkableTHERE is much to be said about man’s rela-tionship with his pets.

On the one hand, cats, dogs, birds and otherbeloved animal species are well cared for bytheir human families.

Theoppositeholds for theunfortunate four-leggeds and furries who live with people whocan’t fend for themselves, let alone their pets.

Yet, an area such as Khayelitsha reportedlyhas a cat and dog population of nearly 100 000.

This uncontrolled breeding has been con-trived and deliberate by the thoughtless peo-ple who argue that sterilising or letting go oftheir dogs, will deprive them of income theyderive from selling puppies.

How did the situation spiral as out of con-trol as it is to now be highlighted as a cam-paignby theSouthAfricanMassAnimalSter-ilisation Trust, is underway?

Besides theneed for sterilisation, theunfor-givable abuse of thousands of animals bysome communities, is heartbreaking.

One of the worst reported cases of animalabuse last year was that of a dog found buriedalive at a school “because it was a nuisance,hanging around the classrooms”.

The dog was rescued in time. Few are as for-tunate.

Granted, not all poorer people mistreattheir pets, but just as people cannot surviveon “love and fresh air”, so too can’t their pets.

The reality of owning pets translates to ef-fort and money. Most youngsters have dogsbecause they think it’s “cool”.

Sterilisation is a first step and should be fol-lowed by monitoring to drastically reduce thepet population, with access to animal welfareservices and education initiatives. Harshfines and sentences should be imposed onthose convicted of illegally breeding dogs andkeeping dogs for dog fights.

How can a poor family provide for petswhen they’re unable to provide even the ba-sics for themselves?

It’s not rocket science; just pure mathemat-ics.

. Come walk the kenneled dogsat Tears any Monday, Wednes-day or Friday from 10am. Phone(021) 785 4482 to book an orienta-tion course. See you there!

. Mark Sampson gets absurd-ly crucified as a ruthless cat slay-er and Imhoff Farm is being im-plicated in the illegal bacontrade in full blazing colour,while back at the ranch somevery big arms stashes have beenuncovered in Vrygrond by thepolice and it gets a short noticeon page 5.

Get real! I thought people get-ting worried about their sonssniffing panties in adverts wasbad, but this is just beyond cra-zy.

. Animalsdoneed tobe shownrespect and compassion, butthey are not humans. I think itis pathetic how people react insituations like this. Stuart

. Mark Sampson’s smirk withthe picture of his dogs makes mesick. He is a twisted man to vio-lently kill an animal like that.His comedy is quite awful, too.Annie Capri Village

. Regarding the cat mercy

killing. Really, people! Leave theguy alone. I would have done thesame thing in that situation. I’ma level-headed animal lover.

. No, you are not alone. FalseBay Hospital accounts depart-ment should be audited. Theywould probably find that pay-ments are being duplicated allthe time!

. As a business owner in FishHoek, I think people are totallymissing the point, as is ‘MallWorker’. It is to do with jackingup your service or risk losingmoney due to customers goingelsewhere! And anyone workingfor you who doesn’t understandthat, shouldn’t be working foryou. When you open a businessyouare first and foremost saying‘I am here to serve you’. Forgetthat, then you can close yourdoors.

Brave, merciful actionsAS A SERIOUS cat fan I reallyfeel for Jeannot Nelson losingher pet in such a traumatic way,but I believe Mark Sampsons’actions were both incrediblybrave and merciful, given thecircumstances.

How Ms Nelson could even

contemplate her agonised, dis-embowelled cat being driven tothe vet on the laps of a couple ofsmall children defies reason!‘Right’ and ‘merciful’ are not al-ways the same thing.

Amanda ChaplinFish Hoek

Sampson didright thingREFERRING to the article “Furoreover cat ‘mercy killing’” (People’sPost False Bay, Tuesday 15 May).

If my understanding of the eventsis correct, I believe Mark Sampsondid the right thing by ending thecat’s agony.GAIL CHRISTIE

Who are the real monkeys?It’s crazy that in this technologicalage humans can’t even produce aproper baboon proof rubbish binthat can be easily opened and closedby home owners without the ba-boons being able to do the samething.

It just shows we are not so differ-

ent from these primates.We are told that even when we get

a so-called baboon proof bin we stillhave to put padlocks on the twocatches otherwise the baboons willopen them.

Well, that’s just not going to hap-pen.

Imagine fiddling around to findthe right keys every time you takerubbish from the kitchen to thebin.

My mother my hero: more lettersMy mother my hero: more letters

Determined to raise awarenessI JUST wanted to add that I amso inspired by your mom’s te-nacity and spirit. I have an auntwho has stage four cancer, butyet she still inspires and sharesher time and energy with us. Iwas diagnosed with breast can-cer at the age of 34. I’ve lost bothmy breasts, but am even moredetermined to do what I can toraise awareness and to get thegovernment to hear us.

I have a friend who was diag-nosed with HER2 Positive can-cer and she needs Herceptinwhich costs R25 000 a shot. Shehas no medical aid and so we aredoing what we can to assist heralong with the ladies from PinkDrive.

I love reading your articlesand will definitely continuereading them.ELISE FERNANDEZ

‘This is my journey with cancer’Iwas so touched by the beautiful

dedication you wrote aboutyour mom in our local paper (PP

– False Bay). What a moving storyabout a very loved brave and hon-ourable lady who is fighting for herlife all the while keeping up such apositive and strong demeanour. Ican only imagine what you are go-ing through, it must be the toughestthing in the world to see a very spe-cial mom so gravely ill.

I think most readers would havebeen humbled by your acceptanceof having to be a part of such a verytough journey. Look after yourself,keep strong and keep positive. Somany people are affected by thisdreadful disease – its touching somany people’s lives – its just so cru-el.

This is my story, which I hopewill give you and your mom somestrength and encouragement.

At 35 years of age I was diagnosedwith Stage 3 breast cancer which in-evitably set about changing my lifeforever.

2 bouts of surgery, 6 months ofchemotherapy and 36 sessions of ra-diation treatment formed part ofmy journey of recovery. My dis-ease, it is thought, was possiblybrought about by huge oestrogenexposure in the form of fertilitytreatment – which I endured for 6years. My gut feel however, is thatmy cancer mutated itself the veryday I gave birth to my babies (twins,both a boy and a girl.) It was at 23weeks, which in South Africa is tooyoung to be ‘saved’, and the traumathat went with a live birth and theagony of the loss I had to endure inthe many hours, days and years af-ter this event did a lot to devastatemy body – both physically and emo-tionally.

Factually, 98%of breast cancerdiagnoses are a success,meaning that the cancer is

usually discovered by:1. Examination by a gynaecolo-

gist or breast specialist.2. Mammogram.3. Fine needle aspiration biopsy.Unfortunately, I was in the 2% of

failed cancer reading rates, basical-ly because:

1. I wasn’t at an age for breast can-cer threat. Chances of developingbreast cancer increase with age.77% of women diagnosed withbreast cancer are over 50.

2. I had no family history of breastcancer.

3. I was fit, not overweight, a non-smoker.

4. The lump I presented with wasperfectly round (cancer is typicallyjaggered) and painful (breast can-cer is generally painless).

5. Mammogram results showednothing conclusive enough to causeconcern.

6. Fine needle aspiration results– of which I had 3 – all came backnegative.

It wasn’t until a tissue samplewas sent to pathologists that thecancer was found and then – within6 months of my first feeling the

lump (during a self-examinationtest at home) – it was discovered tohave travelled to my lymphatic sys-tem. So get tested. Go with your gut,get second opinions – these factorsall contributed to saving my life.

I can assure you that the hum-bling thing about being diagnosedas very sick, is you just want life!

Trauma which cancer patients gothroughondiagnosis is equal to andcomparable with soldiers fightingon the front line. Trauma and fearmake it a challenge to keep trustinglife.

Along with the trauma of mydiagnosis I had to come toterms with the reality of

never being able to have children ofmy own. Having tried for 5 years todo just that, I had to dig deep to findthe resources to escape this im-mensely tough period in my life.

Dealing with feelings of disap-pointment in me as a woman, awife, a would-be mother, a daughterand sister,was a true and real griev-ing experience. However it mademe realise that in life one has to beopen to alternate paths, not neces-sarily paths you would have cho-sen, but still paths to happiness, ful-filment and love none the less.

Whilst hospitalised during a par-ticularly bad patch of chemothera-py I remember thinking – I have allthese tubes supporting my body butnothing supporting my brain, thecontrol centre of the entire body? Itwas then that I realised the powerof the mind. I relied on my memo-ries of when I was “healthy andpain free Amanda” & “happyAmanda”. I created formyself an in-house vision board which I alwayshad access to. Utilising this, I en-couraged myself to persevere in myfight back to health.

My perseverance also helped metremendously while hiking theGreat Wall of China, a year out oftreatment, in an effort to raise mon-ey for breast cancer awareness andresearch. I believed (and still be-lieve) in cellular memory – the cellswhich make up my body must sure-ly remember being healthy – all Ihad to do was nudge them back inthat direction.

Counselling played a huge part inmy recovery. Studies have proventhat women who partake in thisform of therapy have a better longterm survival rate than those whochoose no counselling.

Doctors now take a new ap-proach to cancer recoveryand encourage patients and

survivors to partake in regular ex-ercise which, it’s been proven, im-proves survival rates. All it takes is3 x 30 minute sessions per week toimprove aerobic fitness, muscularstrength and circulation – whichwhen you have had lymph removedis of utmost importance.

Factually breast cancer affectsmore South African women thanany other cancer. We women havea 1 in 7 to 9 chance of being diag-nosed with breast cancer in our life-times. Breast / uterine / ovarian

and colon cancers are all linked. Ifyou have a family history of any ofthese cancers you should be goingfor annual mammograms.

On reflection - 4 years into remis-sion - breast cancer has changed mylife in many positive ways and ena-bled me to raise awareness about adisease which affects so many of us.It’s an honour to be alongside bravewomen fighting breast cancer ontheir journey to survival.

And so as I continue to deal withthe psychological impact of my dis-ease I learn that cancer is not al-ways my first and last thought ofthe day.

I have lived to discover the valua-ble lessons cancer brought alongwith it.

Hope gives you the strength tonever give up.

LIAM MOSES

FEW people can deny that street racinghasdeveloped intoasubculture that is cel-ebrated in movies and music from HongKong to Hollywood.

Street racers seem to have their own lan-guage and their own customs and they associ-ate mostly with other street racers.

Films such as The Fast and the Furioushave only helped to grow interest in streetracing around the world, and most Capeto-nians would know that this pass time is justas popular locally as anywhere else.

Paul Simon, events manager at the WesternProvince Motor Club (WPMC) and the organi-sation’s home-based Killarney race track, be-lieves that the appeal of street racing is aboutfar more than simple delinquency.

“When you’re young and underaged, youaren’t really free, but when you get your li-cence it gives you some freedom,” says Si-mon.

“I suppose that’s why the guys try to ex-press themselves by challenging each other.

Obviously it’s an adrenaline rush, I think allmotorsports provide an adrenaline rush, andthat’s why the guys race each other on thestreet. But they can be smarter than that andrace on the strip.”

Simon is in charge of running three differ-ent types of racing events at Killarney forstreet cars, two of which are very similar tothe illegal drags which take place on CapeTown’s roads most weekends.

The first event is Street2Strip,which, as thename suggests, is exactly the same as illegaldrag racing except that it takes place underthe supervision of the WPMC, at a purpose-built venue.

These events have been running for fouryears now, and, according to Simon, morethan 4 500 different drivers have taken partduring that time.

Motorsport South Africa (MSA) Drag Rac-ing takes a similar format, but is designed forracers who would like to take the sport moreseriously.

All the races are timed, winners receiveprize money and a racing licence is requiredto participate.

Street Car Track Days, the third type ofevent for street cars at Killarney, sees racerstake on the full length of the track.

On these days, anything from a 20-year-oldGolf to a brand-new Ferrari can be seen hur-tling around the Killarney circuit at highspeed.

Simon says that these events provide streetracers with the opportunity to compete in asafe and regulated environment.

“Killarney’s drag strip is separated fromthe crowd by a wall and fences. You don’thave to worry about a family trying to crossin front you, coming home from supper.”

“Also, in the event that something does gowrong, an ambulance is always on standby.It’s also more controlled, so the bad elementshave to control themselves. On the streetsthey drink and smoke drugs and do all sortsof funny things.”

Marlize Hoon, from Sybrand Park, tookpart in her first Street2Strip event in 2009 andsince then she has progressed into a champi-on drag racer.

The 26-year-old currently competes in theMSA Drags and has already won several tro-

phies. Hoon says she has never taken part inillegal drags, but never misses a racing eventat Killarney.

“It’s the adrenaline I guess. You can imag-ine, being a girl gives me a different amountof attention from any other guy. I can’t gettired of the faces of the guys when they seea girl driving a turbo car,” says Hoon.

“The first time I raced was towards the endof 2009 and they have events about twice amonth. If my car wasn’t broken, I was there.”

Simon added that despite the high level ofregulation and safety, racing at Killarneycould be just as adrenaline-charged and excit-ing as street racing.

“I would be able to push it harder on thecircuit thanon the road. It canbe just as exhil-arating, if not more so,” says Simon.

“I think here you can measure whereas onthe street you can’t. If you’re on the streetthere is no measurement to see how you areimproving or by how much you are improv-ing.”

The next Street2Strip event at Killarneywill take place on Saturday. For further infor-mation, call the WPMC on 021 557 1639.

YOUNG footballers from Cape Town will joinaround 6 000 of their peers tomorrow, whenthe Kia Sporting Chance Street Soccer pro-gramme kicks off.This tournament, with more than 800 teamsof six boys and girls competing in street soc-cer matches around the country, was startedin 2010 and has been hosted every year since.This year, Athlone, Grassy Park, OceanView, Masiphumelele, Mitchell’s Plain andManenberg are the southern peninsula re-gions which will take part, along with Langa,Khayelitsha, Gugulethu and Macassar – theother regions in the Western Cape.According to Brad Bing, managing directorof Sporting Chance, the organisation thatruns the programme, the main aim of thetournament is to turn anyone who takes partinto a better South African.“Our objective is to create better citizensthroughout South Africa, and we use sport asa vehicle to get to the children and to influ-ence them,” says Bing.Bing adds that the programme aims to pro-mote the game, identify talent and educatechildren about health, safety and sports eti-quette. In order to enter the tournament,playershave to forma teamof at least six boysand/or girls who live in the same street – inthe area where they live – and then competeunder the name of their street.All of the teams are also required to have acoach and to elect one of their players as cap-tain. According to Bing, there is an importantreason behind this requirement.

“Each street has to have a captain, each streethas to have a coach. We are trying to teachyoung people the responsibility of becominga community leader at a young age.“You become a leader within your communi-ty, so if you see things are going wrong youcan say, ‘hey, guys, that’s not acceptable inthis community’. So we are trying to teachleadership, which is lacking in a huge wayin our communities.”The tournament will start this week with aseries of round robin matches played be-tween the 20 sides in each region for eightweeks, every Wednesday and Friday.The first round will be followed by regionalfinals and provincial finals in late June andAugust, and, ultimately, the national finals inSeptember. This is the first year that the win-ners from each province will contest a nation-al final.All of the games, from the first to the final,will be played on normal, unaltered South Af-rican streets. “A lot of kids don’t have accessto facilities, so what we do is taking facilitiesto the kids. All children in South Africa arecompetitive and all of them are sports madso all we are doing is taking the facilities tothem, which is the street,” Bing added.The tournament was hosted for the first timein 2010, during the World Cup, and it is cur-rently sponsored by the 2010 FIFA World Cupfund.This year sportswear brand Mille have spentR400 000 providing kit for the teams to playin, while Foodzone will provide sponsorshipto the value of R500 000 in order to feed theplayers.

Soccer hits the streets
